Wow. My bet is that there were two plants in that press call. It’s sad, every time the Clinton’s seem to do anything that is slightly underhanded or dirty, the Obama campaign shows you that they can be a lot worse. What a change indeed!
[...] evening, the Clinton Campaign held an urgent press call to discuss reported incidents of voting irregularities and intimidation taking place at primary [...]
Barak? Big Baby, not Big Brother.
Change? Change his diaper.
Hillary has a habit of accusing others of doing what she herself does. It sounds like the Clinton campaign is cheating again.
yes, the clinton campaign were telling their people to be at the caucas at least 15 mins early and to take control of caucas packets, gee it looks like Obama’s thousands heard the same message via Hillary, and followed suit. I doubt anyone was locked out of anywhere. Obama’s group were not even being allowed in , at some places, due to sheer numbers. the people in charge were disappearing.
I know many Hillary supporters in TX stating that they were standing inline for more than an hour at caucus, but they could not get in. They were asked to leave without getting in. They didn’t know what to do. Some just had to bring their kids home. How can this be happenning. It is aweful.
Obama has a habit of not answering questions or looking to Hillary for the answers.
Sounds like his supporters were running scared and started cheating .
Hillary did not do this in Nevada. The only lawsuit that came about was the one the Teacher’s Union filed and that had to do with the unfairness of the ’special’
polling spots on the Las Vegas Strip. Many could not vote because they had to work and could not attend the caucas of their precinct. The caucas times did not ‘jive’ with their work hours whereas on the Strip they could vote anytime.
Sounds like Obama is teaching his supporters to what it takes to win.
I can’t believe this kind of behavior out of “adults”. This IS inexcusible. The American people are going to start to rise up if they can never get their voice heard in this process. Stealing caucus packets and then copying those and getting people apparently to sign before the primary has closed. I guess you could call that “change you can xerox”!!! Disgusting!!!

Thought police and politically inept correctness has clearly over-reacted in the heat of the moment I”m certain that the retortic will calm down @ Denver Convention
Hillary is always WHINING and CRYING! She is the MOST CORRUPT person running for President. Wait until the whole story comes out! You Hillary lovers will be singing the blues.
When did Hillary Clinton deliver health-care reform or demonstrate her economic wisdom and foresight while Alan Greenspan was warning of irrational exuberance as the subprime housing loans were created and pandered during her husband’s administration and her husband supported China’s entry into the World Trade Organization without any conditions such as protecting the environment or labor and property rights to levels that are comparable to western standards?
Today China is not only a leading contributor to environmental pollution and global warming (thank you very much Mr. Nobel Laureate, Al Gore), it’s also pushing up oil and other commodity prices, taking our jobs and stealing our intellectual property.
If experience, wisdom and judgment may be relied upon to judge a presidential candidate’s abilities to solve problems, then let’s look at the records of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.
2005 - While Barack Obama promoted a restoration of balance between work and wealth and criticized special interests for distorting U.S. tax codes, Hillary Clinton and her husband liquidated their blind trust of the nearly $50 million amassed during their years in public office.
2002 - While Barack cautioned that without clear rationale an invasion of Iraq would encourage the worst impulses of the Arab world and strengthen the recruitment arm of Al Qaeda, Hillary told Larry King she didn’t regret her vote on the Iraq war resolution because like the Bush administration, the Clinton administration viewed Saddam Hussein as a threat to the international community.
1999 - While Barack secured bipartisan support for health-care reform and passage of low-income tax credits and child care subsidies in the Illinois legislature, Hillary supported her husband’s Iraq “regime change” policy in order to divert public attention from the president’s marital, legal and ethical infidelities.
1989 - While Barack Obama served as the Harvard Law Review’s first black president, Hillary Clinton then wife of the Arkansas governor received payments from a law firm that was doing the state’s business and received board of director payments from Wal-Mart where she remained silent about Wal-Mart’s anti-labor union practices.
1979 - While Barack Obama was actively involved in the South African divestment movement to end apartheid, Hillary reaped profits of almost 10,000% in the futures markets and left taxpayers with her real-estate losses in the Savings & Loan bailout.
In Hillary’s eight (8) years in the Senate, the Congressional Record (www.thomas.gov) shows she “sponsored” only two (2) pieces of legislation that were presented to the president for signature. The first piece of legislation (S. 1241) was to establish a historic site in New York state, the second (S. 3613) was to name a U.S. Postal Service building.
At 3:00 AM who is Hillary gonna call in a national crisis? GHOSTBUSTERS? Without any attachment to a position and no leadership qualities or principles to guide her in a time of national crisis, Hillary like her husband, would need to first conduct a poll to determine what is in her political interest before committing to any national decision.
It’s refreshingly nice to see the better angels of America’s character prevailing as voters reject the racial, religious and ethnic slurs being spewed by the divisive supporters of Clinton, Limbaugh and Hannity.
As a Republican-leaning independent, I will vote for Barack Obama if he is the Democratic nominee running against John McCain but I will not vote for Hillary Clinton.
